In The Heart Of My Garden: An intimate look at Central Otago’s gardens by Ian Brodie and Jill Herron

Despite the soaring heat in summer and the relentless snowfall and devastating frost of winter, beautiful gardens persist in the unique environment of Central Otago. Photographer Ian Brodie and accomplished writer, Jill Herron are passionate about gardens and Central Otago. They have combined both passions to make this splendid book and showcase some of Central Otago’s finest gardens.

In The Heart of My Garden presents original designs and planting ideas, but above all demonstrates how creating a garden, however humble can bring enormous joy and meaning to people’s lives. Every gardener has shown a spirit of determination born of a love of plants, and their tenacity is rewarded with the exquisite gardens featured in this book.

This book is not only filled with the splendour of Central Otago in bloom, but is a great source of inspiration for budding gardeners, whether it is seeing a plant that might look good in your garden or adopting a particular style or design shown. There is even a section on landscape design. The text relates specifically to Central Otago, and the efforts to produce such lovely gardens in the face of the climate extremes that the region faces. Gardeners will enjoy the photos by award-winning photographer, Ian Brodie and the efforts made by the gardeners who made this book possible.
